Rene thanks for the comment. Mike is the guy flying alone and he is the guy who does the videos. He did a good job filming himself. I am the other guy in the videos but even though I do fly alone on occasion, I cannot do a good job filming. Too busy when you are by yourself. Thanks for watching and thanks again for you comments. Should have another soon.
I'm a flightsim pilot heheheh and i fly the cj4 a lot... I learned since ground zero how to fly studied on my own with internet books and tutorial. Also learned to fly the cj4 by my own ... So i decided to see the real thing and i ended up watching your videos and i discovered that i'm doing great at it in my Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 cj4 flights... Today i simulated the saint martin flight that u guys did and i felt awesome! Great videos great flying keep going bud. I love all of them. Hope someday i will have enought money to buy a cirrus vision jet at least. 😅
Marcelo that is great that you fly the CJ4 simulator. I also bought it but need a bigger computer to run it. Yes the St. Martin Flight was one of favorite flights. Coming over the ocean to land above all the sun bathers was exciting I have to admit. Glad you liked the video and keep your dream of owning a jet. You never get anywhere unless you have a goal or a dream that drives you to succeed.
@@citation80hbflyer38 thank you very much and i will bring the kind words tou said and use as a stimulus to fullfill my dreams. Keep flying and posting videos! God bless u and all the family .. regards!
I read about the big windstorm at LBE. I hope that the two of you and your families are staying safe from the current situation and that your aircraft is undamaged.
Robert, yes there was a big wind issue at LBE but we dodged that bullet. Some smaller tee hangars suffered the damage and it looks like one plane. We are staying safe and I hope you are as well. Thanks.
PJ I did see your vehicle driving past us! It was behind and to my right. Good day for IFR. Glad you like the videos. We were going to make a video today but decided not to. We may get started again soon. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching.
@@CCitis, yes we are still flying. Did a trip today with an ILS landing in Savannah and another at Latrobe. Should have the video ready soon. Thanks for your comments.
I love this plane ! I am glad that msfs2020 working title let's me experience some what of the experience operating the equipment, but nothing is the same as flying it in real world !!! Thanks for sharing your flights sir... if you ever in the Orlando area let me know, would love to take you up in a 172 and head out for breakfast... nothing like the cj4 ..lol
@@citation80hbflyer38 I know it’s not the same but if you have a moment sir check out this video I did with the cj4. It’s a Full flight but just see the start up, departure and landing into Sanford in msfs2020. Just wanted to see how close is it to real world. ua-cam.com/video/YLGvDPOBaHE/v-deo.html
David I did watch the video. Very close to real world and I was impressed with your proline 21 skills. I do have the program but searching for a computer that can handle the graphics. Great way to keep flying skills current. In the plane things do seem to happen more quickly especially around busy airspace’s like Orlando and CLT. Over speed is always an issue in the 4 since it has so much power. You came close a couple of times but caught it. Personally I like to hand fly on departure up through the flight levels and on approach. However they really encourage the use of the AP which is ok I guess. Overall you did very well. Great job.
@@citation80hbflyer38 if you have down time and your able to be a special guest, it would be amazing. If not sir you can watch live and enjoy some cj4 flying. Thank you for watching the video and leaving me your feedback sir. Happy flying and enjoy the skies !! m.twitch.tv/daverendon
Hello Rob. Typically at FL 350 we see 450 kts and a fuel flow of around 1100 to 1200 lbs per hr depending on temperatures. The CJ4 has a very high thrust to weight ratio and may even be the highest among all Cessna jets. Great airplane! Thanks for watching.
Rob at FL450 the speed drops to about 420 KTS TAS and about 900 lbs per hour. Great altitude for weather or long trips. However if heavy, and high temps, FL450 can be tough like ISO +10 or +15.
The answer used to be a flat No, but the rules have changed over the years with it becoming permissible for some diabetics to get medical certificates when they meet certain criteria. Obviously the only way to find out is talk to an Aviation Medical Examiner to at least start the process.
David Fleming David I am 77 and the owner of the plane. Mike the guy flying in the GSO single pilot departure is 63. We both have single pilot ratings but fly most of the time together splitting left seat time. I know the insurance companies get nervous about our ages but everyone handles age differently; however they have the last word. For many pilots age is just a number. I feel we fit into that category. Stay in shape, live healthy and there is no reason you can’t continue to fly for many more years safely. In fact my FAA medical examiner is 89 and is still instructing. He looks and acts like he is 50.
Yes I am still flying! Little less with the pandemic but still up in the air. I’ll fly as long as I’m able and feel safe doing it. I have a co- pilot on many flights with customers but still enjoy flying the jet solo. We just took a break from the videos but will make some more soon. Thanks for checking and hope you enjoyed the videos.
Love the channel. I learn something from you guys every time I watch. Thanks for sharing.
i just found your channel a week or so ago, I've enjoyed everyone of your videos. Hope to see some new ones before long... take care!!!!
David thanks. We just filmed another flight to Houston so maybe we will be posting another soon. Thanks for watching.

Intro was a hoot. Fine some new software?
I miss you two guys. Are you still going to make videos?
Bob, thanks for the inquiry. We have taken a break but will be releasing a new video very soon. Stay tuned!
Congrats on going it alone! Well done! Next time you’re in Orlando FlightSafety say hi!
Will be there in July. We will look you up.

Hello I am a diabetic Type 1 guy. Am I allowed to make a flight license to fly as a private Pilot?
The answer used to be a flat No, but the rules have changed over the years with it becoming permissible for some diabetics to get medical certificates when they meet certain criteria. Obviously the only way to find out is talk to an Aviation Medical Examiner to at least start the process.
How old are you guys? I ask because I am 74, and IFR, Commercial, Multi-engine, CFI.
David Fleming David I am 77 and the owner of the plane. Mike the guy flying in the GSO single pilot departure is 63.
